Stressful WeekThis past week, to be perfectly honest, was very rough. I have been trying to make up for a lot of the pushups and situps that I missed while I was out of town, and it is proving to be very difficult. I know that…

That is awesome you shared self defense wrist escapes. It is a very important movement in self defense so they cannot be taken away. I hope they remember it if they ever have to protect themselves. Sharing your knowledge can help people who want to learn.

You really took the ball and ran with this! Thank you for spreading our karate out into the community and teaching self-defense! Being able to host a class like this on short notice is a testament to your understanding of the techniques and to your many hours of participating in similar classes that we have hosted over the years. Nicely done Olivia-San!

Congratulations on placing first in the kata tournament. It is a great picture of you and Avi with your metals. I have competed in many tournaments. Some tournaments I have not won a metal and some I have won medals. It is a great feeling of accomplishment when you finally win first place. Enjoy it.

That sounds like a really positive uplifting book to read. I agree that happiness comes from one’s self. Money and material things cannot make someone truly happy. Kindness is an excellent way to feel joy and happiness.

This test may be one of the most difficult tests you ever take. I understand everything you are going through. Make sure to take time for yourself to remain healthy. It is okay to not do everything everyday. Some days your body just needs to rest. It’s not a mountain if it is not steep. Keep on working towards your long term goal. You will get there one day and one step at a time. I will support you 100% of the way there.
